1) Odom - obvious stupid drive with so much time on the clock, but was that even an offensive foul?

2) I can't believe the lack of respect by the refs for Mihm still. One of his last fouls, Jesus Christ. He steps out on the screen, Bibby sticks his arm out, and it's a foul on Mihm, of course.

3) Kobe got hit on a couple of jumpers in the first half including the last second 3 at the end of the half... no calls, of course.

4) Kobe jumps into a Rookie who bites on a pump fake, no call.

5) Kwame missed 2-3 offensive rebounds on OT. They came right to him, then he just volleyballs them up in the air instead of grabbing them.

6) Luke was WAAAY off tonight, No D, No shooting, No passing... He looked really tentative out there, too. The offense was totally stagnant when he touched the ball. I think he's going through some mental thing right now. Kenny Thomas OWNS him, but only because Mihm got fouled out.

What was the commentary like on KCAL? I watched on TNT (HD), but I wanted to hear Stu & Joel's analysis. They aren't homers and usually point out bad reffing. Is it just me, or did they see it too?

I have never been so mad after a loss..ever! Lamar is just dumb!!! A won ballgame..all he had to do was hold the ball for 20 seconds.. I knew after drove aimlessly that something bad is going to happen... idiot idiot play.. the guy looks high..

instead of wrecking [Swearing is not permitted at Clublakers. You must edit this post prior to submitting.] in my house, i just beat the [Swearing is not permitted at Clublakers. You must edit this post prior to submitting.] out my bed.

so yeah, win against the suns? ahem...eh...yeahhhhh....

if we can't stop bibby on screens, how the HELL are we supposed to stop steve nash? yeahhhhhh.....

I can't believe Odom was laughing after that offensive foul in the last 30 seconds...

Dumb SOB.. the refs wouldn't call that if Odom did not put himself in that position stupid stupid stupid... Lamar certainly destroyed any momentum this team had before this game.. up next on this back to back, Phoenix, the reason this game was a must win.. This one's on you Lamar!! When you miss the play-offs look back on this game, you idiot!!

Whenever you allow Bibby to score 40 you´ll lose in Sacramento. Allthough Odom had that TERRIBLE and DUMB TO, we lost because we allowed them to shoot 2 threes after that. we played horrid defense. point blank.

Umm, if ODumb would've ran out the clock like he was supposed to, the Queens wouldn't have had two opportunities to shoot 2 threes. ODumbs to blame, point blank?

Your right to an extent but if you looked at the clock, all we had to do was hold the ball for 24 seconds, doesn't matter if we turned it over, just for 24 seconds. Kings have no time outs with like 8secs in the game, they have to make a three. Up by 2. They foul (kobe probably), kobe makes 2, we're up by 4. Kings still have no time out, they have to make another three, foul right away, kobe to the line for another 2 (up by 3), kings would have to make another three, with no time outs.

Facts is we had this game WON. Odom decided to give the kings a freebee and we lost because of that.

Forget if we were up by 5 or 4 during that stretch, either way it doesn't make a difference.

Lamar, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!!! 32 seconds left, up by 4, you can take the clock down to about 11-10 seconds, or maybe giving it to Kobe, but that is besides the point. Hold that damn ball and the Queens would be forced to FOUL YOU not YOU FOUL THEM!!!

Like Phil has said more than once this season, this team needs to learn how to close out games. They still have a lot to learn (well, everyone but Kobe).

Trade LO? Yeah I thought that when it first happened but who would really want him? He is our Peja!!!

i guess that's what happens when we call odom our point guard, or point forward, or whatever you wanna call it. or how about smush parker? how many times are we going to see smush forget about the shot clock and pass it to kwame on the high post to do something with the ball with 2 seconds left? or how about odom go get an offensive foul, up by 4, with 30 seconds left?

i feel like i miss having a true point guard. a lot of times when we get lost in our offensive set, no one knows what to do with the ball (luke walton stand there trying to pass to someone and takes a 20 footer that clanks). if we had a real PG, he'd be our floor general and make sure those kinds of mistakes don't happen.

unfortunately, there aren't many PG that can play D, are tall/big (around smush's size) and are available.

this actually isnt the first time Ive noticed Odom relax when we have a lead and he makes stupid plays that either lost us the game or could of lost the game. He doesnt have a killer instinct like Kobe.

They had what 32-34 seconds on the clock, but they allowed the lakers to dribble the ball all the way up to front court. Did they know Odom was going to do what he did? Or is it a given that Odom is an idiot? Looks fishy to me.
